Question

3v(3v-2)-(3v-2)Help me factor this please. I know the answer, I want an explanation of how.

Answer 1

We have the following expression

`3v(3v-2)-(3v-2)`

we have 2 terms, one of them is

`3v(3v-2)`

and the other one is

`-(3v-2)`

We can note that (3v-2) is repeated on both terms, so we can factorize (3v-2) in both terms, which gives

so this equivalent to:

therefore, the answer is:

`(3v-2)(3v-1)`
